Caitlin and Angelo have been dating since 2016. “I remember my first audition forSchool of Rocklike it was yesterday,” Angelo toldInside Editionin 2021.
“I get in there and the little blonde girl next to me, she gets called in first and she starts singing show tunes and just blows the roof off the place. It was excellent.”

That very group chat led to a rekindled relationship, as Angelo explained: “So Caitlin is like, hey, I’m moving down toFlorida.”
The couple ended up meeting up for lunch, and then it was dinner, and then it turned to drinks.“The rest is history,” Caitlin toldInside Edition.
Not everyone coming out of the cult classic has shared a similarly positive experience. Rivkah Reyes, who portrayed the bad-a** bass guitarist Katie, recalled the impact rewatching the movie has had on her mental health.

“They would have us come on, they’d have Jack come on and do an interview and then they would bring us out and we would do the song from the movie on the show, which was so cool.
“We did that a bunch and it was so fun, but at one point, they took us to go see it and it was magical.”
After numerous screenings and events, the novelty of being a film star wore off for Rivkah, who found their showbiz experience quite different from their co-stars.
They explained: “I have severe anxiety. Ever since I was a little kid I have had like, really like negative, spiraling thoughts.”

“So I would be watching it and just looking at myself like, ‘Why are you doing that with your face?’
“I was very highly critical of myself and also, like, you know, sitting next to my mom watching me, and then like, yeah…
“I got highly critical of myself and it got really weird. I was like self-conscious about everything.”

Rivkah further revealed that each time they watchedSchool of Rock, they became increasingly self-conscious about their appearance and performance, which amplified their inner insecurities, especially due to bullying from peers.
Nevertheless, the actor also admitted: “My memories attached to the process of filming are mostly positive, and my memories about the press junkets and all of that were really fun, because I was being pulled out of school to like be famous, to be interviewed and meet theOlsen twins!
“Yeah…it’s complex, but I should give it another watch.”
“They were meant for each other,” a reader commented
